Still Life: Remember Mother with a Flower
I love finding creative ways to use my stamp images.
For Barb’s ATC swap at the Stampin’ Addicts Convention 2009 Meet & Greet, my inspiration was microbeads and a blossom from the Trio Flower punch. So, how to present the pretty peony? Hmmmm, maybe in a vase. . . . .
But what stamp could I use for a vase? And of course, I’d need a stem. (Yes, my freehand drawing skills are so limited, I’m reduced to stamping stems.)
Figure out where I found my ‘vase’ and ‘stem’ yet?
All I’ll say is this: If anyone asks where Mother is, tell ‘em I plead the 5th.

Too cute! What a creative way to use “mother”. And I stamp flower stems too. I paid all that money for those stamps… I don’t ever plan on drawing a thing!
My first guess before reading here was a “Party Hearty” hat turned upside down. Cute idea!
So clever!!! Love it!
I hope Mom wasn’t wearing that when you borrowed it. Too cute!
OH, now that is a clever vase! What a fun card, Holly!
